Progressive Judge Wins Wisconsin Supreme Court Seat in "Most Important Election of 2023"

[Uncle Joe]

Democrat-backed Judge Janet Protasiewicz won a high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday, giving liberals a majority on the court for the first time since 2008 and renewing hopes the state's abortion ban can be reversed. Protasiewicz's rival, former Justice Dan Kelly, had support from Republicans and anti-abortion groups. The Wisconsin Supreme Court is also likely to weigh in on gerrymandering and voting access, with the potential to impact national elections for Congress and president. We get an update from John Nichols, national affairs correspondent for _The Nation_, who joins us from Madison, Wisconsin.
